If you have a condition like ureteral obstruction due to complete prolapse, she may need to do an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) or renal sonography. She’ll inject dye into your veins then take a series of X-rays to view its progress through your bladder.
- Will ask about your medical history and do a physical exam of your pelvis.
- May examine while you’re standing up and lying down.
- Might ask you to cough or strain to increase pressure in your abdomen.
- Could use ultrasound to rule out other pelvic problems. For this test, she’ll pass a wand over your abdomen or insert it into your vagina. It uses sound waves to create images of the inside of your body.
